From the day I took the reins at our farmhouse B&B I started to make granola. It’s so tasty and versatile. Layering homemade granola between thick natural yoghurt and sliced strawberries, or any berries of your choice, in pretty glasses for breakfast or brunch is not only delicious but looks gorgeous.

Ingredients

2 tbsp sunflower oil

4 tbsp honey

350g porridge oats

100g quinoa flakes

3 tbsp sunflower seeds

4 tbsp sesame seeds

3 tbsp pumpkin seeds

2 tbsp pistachios, roughly chopped

4 tbsp desiccated coconut

2 tbsp raisins

2 tbsp dried cranberries

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

To prepare the granola, mix the oil and honey in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, except the coconut, raisins and cranberries, and mix well.

Pour this mixture onto the lined baking tray and spread evenly. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring from time to time to help brown evenly.

Mix in the coconut, raisins and cranberries and bake for a further 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as it can quickly burn around the edges.

Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before spooning into a storage jar.
